How come?

Someone recently sent me pictures of students at a California high school who were flying the Mexican flag above the American flag and the American flag was disrespectfully flown upside down. There were pictures but there was no mention of any chastisement for showing such disregard for the flag of this country. I'm thinking that if students from this country went down to Mexico and did the same thing to the Mexican flag, there might be some recourse to severe justice by that country. Why is America allowed to be treated this way? Where are our elected officials when something like this occurs?

It has also been interesting to hear America being chastised by China for perceived human rights abuses. Lots of pots around lately, calling various kettle black. Strange world we live in these days. It sure makes us pay more attention to how devoutly we say our prayers!
